Stella Davenport wasn't made
for small-town life. Sure, teaching ballet in Blanco Valley, Colorado, is
great, but she longs for the chance to perform in a big city. Stella swore
she'd never let anything get in the way of her dream-until sexy,
broad-shouldered Brandon West walks back into her life. Stella is determined to
resist him, even if arguing with Brandon is sexier than any foreplay.

For Brandon, it's always been just him and his son, Matt. Knowing that love
only leads to heartbreak, he isn't looking to expand his family any time soon.
Stella, with her long, gorgeous legs and infectious laugh, is a breath of fresh
air he didn't even know he'd been missing. But when she's offered her dream job
in Chicago, will he be willing to put his heart on the line?
